Five San Diego Protests Planned for Trump Inauguration Weekend

The ugly reality of the Trump era is coming more into focus every day as announcements about billionaires, generals, and bigots joining his cabinet are made.

I’m looking ahead to the activist actions being planned for the weekend of the inauguration. In addition to local events, there are already rallies, demonstrations, and marches planned for more than 60 cities worldwide.

The local events are still not quite focused, and I expect the lineup will change over the next month. The one that looks to be the biggest will be the Women’s March on January 21st. You can read about them all following next week’s events listed below.

Inaugural Demonstrations in January

Disrupt J20 – San Diego

On January 20th, a fascist will be inaugurated as president. On January 20th, we RISE. Black, Latinx, Muslim, LGBTQ, Jewish, Women, Disabled – we will come together and show our strength, marching in solidarity with the Washington D.C. protesters. Let the world know we will not stand by quietly as a bigot takes power.

Protest Inauguration Day and Fight Trump

This is a call to mobilize against the bigot, Islamophobic, anti-immigrant, sexist, Trump and everything he stands for. On inauguration day the people of San Diego will unite and fight! We will send our message loud and clear to those at the top: We Reject the President Elect!

Protest Trump on Inauguration Day

As we approach the inauguration of Trump, we denounce all of the rhetoric he used to get to this point, but we do not have to accept it. Leading up to his inauguration we will continue to organize actions and protest and much more, keep an eye out for all that on our page. We will be having a large coalition meeting with all interested allies.

Consider taking January 20th (#J20) off work and joining us in the streets. We want to send a clear message to the Trump administration that we will not allow business as usual.

We will be gathering at 12 noon at the lawn area on Park Boulevard near the intersection of President’s Way. There is a large parking lot across the street. We will march to the downtown Federal Building at 880 Front Street where we will end our march with speakers defending immigrant rights, women’s rights, the environment, the muslim community, racial justice and the LGTBQ community.

San Diego Women’s March

We, San Diego Women’s March, are peacefully marching in San Diego in solidarity with the Women’s March in DC. We are dedicated to a free and open society. Together we stand united in our respect for all people and we resist the marginalization of anyone. As a diverse, inclusive community of compassionate people, we seek to strengthen and continue our commitment to work for the protection of women’s rights. We stand firm in agreement that women’s rights are human rights.

***Our logistics team is working out the location, route and timing for the march. As soon as the details are confirmed, we will make an announcement!***

In solidarity with the Women’s March on Washington we will be organizing and marching in North San Diego on January 21, 2017. This march will be held in love and light of unity and inclusivity with a call to action.

This march is in solidarity with the Woman’s March being held across the nation. We would like to join all who want to move forward in the wake of the new administration to ensure respect and dignity for all. This is an inclusive march and all are welcome.
